The U.S. Justice Department has blocked South Carolinas controversial voter ID law, saying it would prevent black people from voting. It was the first voter ID law to be refused by the federal agency in nearly 20 years. The decision means voters will not have to show a Department of Motor Vehicles-issued drivers license or photo ID card, a U.S. military ID or a U.S. passport. And it means the state, which says it plans to appeal the decision in court, will spend time and taxpayer dollars on the second such lawsuit during Gov. Nikki Haleys term.

Boy oh boy I would love to hear the Justice Department’s logic that gets them to the conclusion that voter photo ID laws will keep black people from voting. Not white people. Not brown people. Nope. JUST black people. Now why is that ya suppose?

How do Black residents in South Carolina get a job, take a drug test, get a bank account, buy a money order, buy alcohol or tobacco, cash a pay check, register to vote, or rent an apartment without I.D.?

Apparently, Obama needs votes from Mickey, Spiderman, Minnie, Catwoman (her costume is always black, and her skin sometimes is), and other fictional or dead characters with black pigment, and Holder is going to keep them on the voter rolls. Personally, I prefer honest elections, but that's not the Chicago Way or the Democrat Party's way.

Well, photographs rely on reflected light, and the color black doesn't relect light, so a black person can't have a photo ID, because you can't take their photograph. Or something.

Tell the feds to get bent. Our states, our laws, if you can't produce a piece of I.D. that verifies that you can legally vote, you shouldn't be participating in the process. Anything less corrupts the entire voting process, and destroys any faith in the federal voting process, and by extension, faith in the federal government to uphold the law. If they want mob rule, it's time to change the management, to one more mindful of their constitutional responsibilities.

No I.D.? Fine with me. Two can play that game. I’ll happily make “extra rounds” on election day. There’s more of us than there are of them! I might even finish the day at my last stop hanging out at the door with a billy club.

In a story ignored by the national media, in April a Tunica County, Miss., jury convicted NAACP official Lessadolla Sowers on 10 counts of fraudulently casting absentee ballots. Sowers is identified on an NAACP website as a member of the Tunica County NAACP Executive Committee.

From the article: Perez also noted that South Carolinas minority voters are 20 percent more likely to lack DMV-issued ID than white registered voters, and thus to be effectively disenfranchised.

And in what way have they been prevented from getting their ID?

Perez was using data from the S.C. Election Commission, which notes that 239,333 of South Carolinas registered voters, or 8.9 percent, do not have DMV-issued IDs. The South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles this week disputed those numbers, noting that more than 200,000 of those voters either live in other states, have allowed their IDs to expire, have licenses with names that dont match voter records or are dead, according to a report from the Associated Press.

Of course, we all know this is about protecting the group that always favors the Democrats. The fraudulent vote.
